Best Lobster Rolls Outside of Maine. Have not had fries Oysters so tasty in years. All the side dishes were exceptional and unique.

Too much has changed, imo, for the worse. The fried shrimp were bigger, fresher. Now they're like the frozen, breaded type. Disappointed they're going the cheap route while gouging the price. This will be my last time here.

First off, I've been coming here for a long time.Decent but very expensive.The prices here have kept going up and up and up.Portions get smaller and smaller and smaller.There's no reason a 2 piece fish and chip should cost $22 before any tax and tip (as of this date). By the time you read it, it might be $28 for the same thing (just smaller). To clarify, it used to be 2 big pieces of fish. Now what you get are smaller chunks maybe 3 or 4 to make up the difference. It is now more breading than it used to be. Very disappointed in this.This is the last time I'm coming here. The prices have gone full on ridiculous.

Ordering took a while due to two things: a little language barrier (I wish I knew how to speak Spanish) and the tablet system is organized in a way that's confusing for someone whose second or third language is English.I got the pulled pork sandwich plate with Mac n cheese and onion rings.The pulled pork sandwich comes with pickled pickles and onion - the brine is different from most pickles I get from restaurants - slightly sweet yet tangy. Tastes house made, which i love. It doesn't come dripping in sauce but the meat is VERY moist. I'd say perfectly cooked - even the charred parts were tender!I'm the type of gal that likes sauce mixed into her pulled pork but the line was moving so slowly, I didn't feel like waiting in it to ask for some. There's green & red Tabasco on the table so it worked out fine. The Mac n cheese portion was small (4oz. portion cup) but tasty. onion rings were large - crispy on the outside while the onion was hot and moist. I love that the onion rings came with ranch - in my experience, it's rare but nice when servers give you sauce without you having to ask.I tried my fiance's bbq sauce. He tried my ranch. We agreed on both being great house made sauces (we're "sauce people").Prices were decent, and I got to take half my sandwich home, it had a lot of meat. Because of that, i don't mind how small the Mac n cheese was. And the fact that it isn't slathered in sauce means my dog gets to enjoy some when I get back home.

Very tasty food and friendly service. We ordered the dual lobster sandwiches combo and it was delicious. The clam chowder was the best we've had. However, the portions were on the small side and the prices rather high. Recommend this place, but come with a good size wallet and semi-sized appetite.

Very nice seafood restaurant. The style is street food served with passion. We came for lunch and got a table on the outside. We had salmon burger, seafood Louie salad, white wine, and a beer. Everything was very nice. Will be back!

Really good chowder bread bowls and easy, picnic style environment. Lobster rolls and salads are good, but really pricey without much flair. I love lobster, but it's still hard to spend that kind of money for lunch. It's fresh and delicious but simple.

First time here and ooh it was amazing. I got the Lobster Roll Naked, but when I tell you it's great dressed! You should definitely try both. The macaroni and cheese was really good and cheesy just how I like it. Their menu was pricey, but what do you expect for seafood!

Overpriced for what it is. We had the lobster roll and the clam bellies. Now I was super excited for the clam bellies, it was okay, not greasy but not killer. Maybe it was my own fault for overhyping the experience. My husband loved the lobster roll, but what's there the hate? Lobster - good, butter- good, bread- good. We may comeback if we're feeling like treating ourselves, it was a splurgy lunch.

I got a lobster roll that seemed like sandwich that sandwich look make from home. Very disappointed and when you look at the lobster tank inside is disgusting. Very dirty water. Very Very expensive for what you get. The only positive was the service. Our waitress/ cashier was wonderful. She had no help.

Fantastic lobster rolls! Super fresh and such a great price. The sides of fries and coleslaw were also very good. Would go again.

Great place in a deceiving shopping strip. I've always heard good things about this place and so we checked it out before heading up to the city. The staff is super friendly and willing to help with suggestions on what to get. We ended up getting a bowl of clam chowder, Maine lobster roll and fish and chips. The clam chowder was just the way I like it, creamy and full of clams. The lobster roll was outstanding (and I'm not the biggest fan of lobster rolls). The bun was perfectly toasted and filled with chunks of lobster The fish and chips were hot and fresh, and not greasy. It also came with seasoned fries which is a great touch. It's a bit of out of our way from where we live but if you're every craving fresh seafood and in the area, I would definitely stop by

Without exaggeration, the most delicious lobster roll I have ever had. Pricey though . I appreciated the amount of side options as well as the beer and wine selection.

Decided to stop by here with the hubby before our Sunday Fundate to Costco and well, it was great! Customer service was really spot on! The cashier helped us with our selections and a gentleman was always checking on us if we needed anything. Great staff! Cleanliness: really clean place and well organized Food quality: it was good! The clam chowder was really creamy and had lots of chunks of clam in it which was great. It wasn't too soupy but had the consistency of good clam chowder! The Captain's platter was a lot. My hubby and I couldn't finish it so we got it to go. It's very filling. The fries was also really flavorful! We're gonna have to come back next time for some lobster rolls! I'd like to try the other items on the menu as well next time. Will definitely come back!
